Dealing with Error Messages

Occasionally, Improv will display an error message. All error messages that
appear in boxes have an Explain button that you can click for a fuller
explanation of the problem. For example, if you try to name an item using a
name that's already assigned to another item or to a category, you see this
error message: [ILLU]

Click Undo to undo your edits. Click Explain or type the letter e to get
more information on the error: [ILLU]

Sometimes you may get an error message indicating that an error has
occurred in Improv. You are given the choice of closing the application or
ignoring the error message. The safest thing to do is to click the Close
button to close Improv, then close all other application windows after
saving any open files, and restart Windows.

When you enter a formula that contains an error, Improv displays an inline
error message: [ILLU]

Click the formula status indicator to the left of the formula to see more
information on the problem: [ILLU]

The explanatory text always includes a copy of the formula. A vertical bar
appears before the section that contains the error. If necessary, use the
scroll bar to display the entire explanation.
